I suspect they are energized and will continue voting in impressive numbers. The meme that young voters won't show up needs to be trashed.

Personally, I'm enjoying this "handing off" to the younger generation. My hope is they grab control of the Democratic Party and fuel this return to progressive values. Love me some "kids"!

(7,300 posts)At work I encourage all the young folks to get involved and take charge. It's pretty easy to motivate them when we're working with broken, dangerous equipment, working for 8-12 hours with no breaks or meals, getting literally screamed at by management and customers and then looking at a paycheck that doesn't cover the bills. The System does most of the work for me.

(14,733 posts)Hill supporters are saying they didn't, because they were a 'small percentage' of voters. Reality, though, was that Bernie was a draw for people of all ages, not JUST young people, so their percentage of the overall numbers was smaller. Not a problem for Bernie, but actually better news than if his win HAD depended upon young people.
